MOORL: A Framework for Integrating Offline-Online Reinforcement Learning
- 用元策略统一处理离线与在线轨迹,实现平滑过渡。
- 在D4RL和V-D4RL的28个任务上优于主流基线方法。
- 无需额外计算开销,适合实际部署场景。
样本效率和探索仍是深度强化学习在复杂领域中的关键挑战。离线强化学习通过静态预收集数据集学习最优策略,成为有前景的替代方案,但受限于分布外动作(OOD)导致性能与泛化能力下降。为此,我们提出元离线-在线强化学习(MOORL),一种融合离线与在线学习的混合框架。不同于以往需大量设计组件与计算开销的方法,MOORL引入元策略,无缝适配离线与在线轨迹,使智能体可利用离线数据进行稳健初始化,并通过在线交互实现高效探索。理论分析表明,该方法通过结合两者优势增强探索能力。实验在D4RL与V-D4RL基准的28个任务上验证有效性,结果持续优于当前先进离线与混合强化学习基线。仅需极少计算开销,即实现强性能,凸显其在真实场景应用的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Sample efficiency and exploration remain critical challenges in Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), particularly in complex domains. Offline RL, which enables agents to learn optimal policies from static, pre-collected datasets, has emerged as a promising alternative. However, offline RL is constrained by issues such as out-of-distribution (OOD) actions that limit policy performance and generalization. To overcome these limitations, we propose Meta Offline-Online Reinforcement Learning (MOORL), a hybrid framework that unifies offline and online RL for efficient and scalable learning. While previous hybrid methods rely on extensive design components and added computational complexity to utilize offline data effectively, MOORL introduces a meta-policy that seamlessly adapts across offline and online trajectories. This enables the agent to leverage offline data for robust initialization while utilizing online interactions to drive efficient exploration. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates that the hybrid approach enhances exploration by effectively combining the complementary strengths of offline and online data. Furthermore, we demonstrate that MOORL learns a stable Q-function without added complexity. Extensive experiments on 28 tasks from the D4RL and V-D4RL benchmarks validate its effectiveness, showing consistent improvements over state-of-the-art offline and hybrid RL baselines. With minimal computational overhead, MOORL achieves strong performance, underscoring its potential for practical applications in real-world scenarios.
